To make adding new option easier, we decided to make the details of
option struct private and hide it from public API. We provide
functions to set individual option value.
If SPDY or HTTP/2 ustream is used and HTTP/2 downstream is used, only
call {spdylay,nghttp2}_resume_data when complete DATA frame was read
in backend to avoid to transmit too small DATA frame to the upstream.
The profiler and benchmarking showed that calling evbuffer_add()
repeatedly is very costly. To avoid this, we buffer up small writes
into one large chunk and call evbuffer_add() less times.
This function behaves like nghttp2_session_send(), but it does not
use nghttp2_send_callback to send data. Instead, it returns the
serialized data to trasmit and its length to the caller.
Previously, there is inconsistency when on_frame_recv_callback
is called between HEADERS/PUSH_PROMISE and the other frames.
For former case, it is called before header block, in latter
case, it is called after whole frame is received. To make it
consistent, we call on_frame_recv_callback for HEADERS/PUSH_PROMISE
after its frame is fully received. Since on_frame_recv_callback
can signal the end of header block, we replaced on_end_headers_callback
with on_begin_headers_callback, which is called when the reception
of the header block is started.
nghttp2_data is added to nghttp2_frame union. When DATA is
received, nghttp2_on_frame_recv_callback is called. When DATA is
sent, nghttp2_on_frame_send_callback is called.
4ed4efc does not disable TLS renegotiation at all, if client keeps
rengotiations without sending application data. In this change,
we intercept the raw incoming data from the client and if it is a
renegotiation, drop the connection immediately.
nghttp2 library itself now accept octet header/value pairs,
completely not restricted by HTTP/1 header name/value rule.
The applications may impose restriction about them using
validators.
Now, in nghttp2_on_frame_recv_callback, nva and nvlen in
HEADERS and PUSH_PROMISE frames are always NULL and 0 respectively.
The header name/value pairs are emitted successive
nghttp2_on_header_callback functions. The end of header fields are
signaled with nghttp2_on_end_headers_callback function.
Since NGHTTP2_ERR_PAUSE for nghttp2_on_frame_recv_callback is
introduced to handle header block, it is now deprecated.
Instead, nghttp2_on_header_callback can be paused using
NGHTTP2_ERR_PAUSE.
We thought that this kind of rewrite can be achieved by the configuration
of the backend severs, but in some configuration, however, it may get
complicated. So we decided to implement at least location rewrite in
nghttpx.
This commit also contains a fix to the bug which prevents the http2
backend request from concatenating header fields with the same value.
This commit also changes SPDY's flow control size. Previously,
the size for SPDY is the same amount of bytes with HTTP/2.
For example, --frontend-http2-upstream-window-bits=N,
the window size is 2**N - 1. Now SPDY code uses 2**N.
Remove sorting headers from library code. The application must sort
them if necessary. nghttpx and nghttpd do the sorting of the headers
in stable way if names are equal.
nghttp2_session_client_new2 and nghttp2_session_server_new2 take
additional parameters which specifies session options.
nghttp2_set_option is somewhat crumsy because of type checking.
Now we use nghttp2_opt_set, which specifies individual options with
types. We changed the value of nghttp2_opt, so this change will
require re-compile.
